Joe said: “It was a fantastic experience for me too meet Dani, she has achieved so much and she is an inspiration to me – it was an amazing day with her and I feel like I learnt a lot.
“I am very proud to have received sponsorship from Irwin Mitchell. I have been able to upgrade my track bike and the new kit looks excellent. This will really open up opportunities for me, helping me further improve my cycling skills and build up more experience.”
Jo Plant, Director of Fundraising at Headway, said: "We are pleased to hear that a Headway auction prize has gone towards helping a young man fulfil his cycling dream.
"The charity's Annual Awards Luncheon provides a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary achievements and dedication of brain injury survivors, carers and volunteers, while also raising vital funds to support our work.
"Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the bidders during this year's event we raised an impressive total of £4,000 from the auction alone, which will help us to continue to improve life after brain injury."
